House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee Inquiry "A Creative Future" Addressed by PEC
Yesterday, the Government published the Integrated Review, a survey of the UK's foreign policy. In response, the Creative PEC, an independent research centre focusing on the creative industries, has submitted a response to the House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee's Call for Evidence titled "A Creative Future."
The submission, co-authored by Dr Tom Chivers and Professor Stuart Allan on behalf of the 'Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences' sector for the PEC's representation to the future of Channel 4, was published on October 5, 2022.
The submission addresses various aspects of the creative industries, including AI, intellectual property, regulation, business models, access to finance, cross-cutting, diversity and inclusion, geography of the creative industries, international trade, and immigration. It also responds to the Competition and Markets Authority's proposed study 'Music and streaming market.'
While the exact content of the Creative PEC's submission is not extensively detailed in the available sources, their research themes provide insights into the likely focus of their evidence. The Creative PEC emphasizes the importance of diversity and inclusion, addressing systemic inequalities related to class, race, and access to cultural education. They also highlight challenges creative workers face, including wellbeing and mental health pressures, especially among underrepresented groups such as Black People and People of Colour (BPOC).
The submission likely calls for better mental health and wellbeing support for creative workers, addressing systemic inequality and improving diversity in the sector, supporting innovation and sustainable business models in creative industries, policy focus on regional disparities and levelling up, and investment in research and data collection to inform effective policymaking.
Moreover, the submission recommends tax incentives for innovation to mitigate market failures in creative R&D. It also emphasizes the importance of creativity in the future job market, emphasizing the need for project management and organisational skills.
The submission made by the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre is available on the House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee's website.
